spacesailor Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 "$90K per annum." My Grand-son-inlaw, Has been to a lot of work-place education, and now has "Qualification's" for that "traffic management" job!. Maybe but he gives little his wife & four kids, must spend it on the ex-police pursuit commodore he just bought. spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I think Octave's post above tells you that the $90k thing is a furphy. Average working year is about 2,000 hours (365 days minus 104 for weekends x 8 hours), so to get $90k the hourly rate would have to be around $45. That ad said $28-$30 /hour.

spacesailor Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I note my Grandson-in-law works most weekends, so add the penalty rates into it as well as all the other perks, like traveling time, and living away, when working at remote places. He's also a fire'ary ( rural fire brigade). so gets something for that & his first aid cert's. spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ancestors were from Shropshire, about 12 miles from the present day border, so would have been Welsh before those pesky Normans turned us into Pommie Bastards. From what I gather, Welsh is a fairly modern language and I remember reading somewhere that the language closest to the original British dialects is Breton. Just a bit of trivia - the largest Welsh speaking population outside of Wales is in Argentina. Cheers, Willie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
